   I run Win 11 on a VM on my Mac and now I'm wondering if I should. Most of the time it's suspended because I've found alternatives for the things I needed Windows for. It's convenient to have, but the last thing I need is the VM suddenly sucking resources away from the Mac because MS won't let me opt out of BS like Recall.

     @cjewel i power my Windows VM down when I'm not using it. it uses hella resources when i power it on because it has a month or two of updates to install each time.

     @kingrat Yeah, I'm gonna start doing that. This is BS.
